Chapter 611


    He remembered the moment Karen blurted it out, except for a mix of shock and a subtle flutter in


    his chest, he did not feel the slightest hint of rejection.


    So Jeffrey figured he must have a thing for her.


    After all, he had an aversion to women who ng onto him. He even found them repulsive! He


    feared getting stuck with someone he couldn''t shake off.


    “So, when ites down to it, what’s so special about me?”


    The fact that Jeffrey had gone to such lengths for her was beyond Karen''s belief; it felt like a surreal


    dream!


    A dream where a wealthy bachelor falls for someone like her.


    She thought of herself as utterly ordinary and invisible in a crowd! Even if he had eyes for someone


    like Dorothy, it would be understandable; with her stunning looks and knockout figure, she was a


    total catch.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    But herself? She had nothing of the sort!


    “I can’t quite put it into words,” Jeffrey confessed, “Don''t think that I''m smooth with sweet nothings


    just because I''ve had a lot of arm candies. I rarely say such things, so when you ask me these


    questions, I''m at a loss for words. I don’t know what to say! How about this; you tell me the answer


    you want to hear, and then I''ll say it to you!”


    This was harder than when Everett demanded the project report by the next day! He had no idea


    where to start, only knowing that if he messed up, he''d be back to square one trying to woo her!


    Truth be told, aside from Karen, Jeffrey had never really fallen for any other fling. Those who he


    found attractive were simply handed a room key and settled with a wad of cash after the deed. So


    before Karen, he never needed to chase a girl and get beaten up like that.


    Seeing Jeffrey scratching his head in frustration, Karen couldn''t help butugh.


    He looked like someone new to dating, even more innocent than Levi.


    "Let''s do this, you let me go, I’ll clear things up with Levi, and then I''ll call you. We can talk more


    later, okay?" Karen wanted to give him some time to sort his thoughts.


    This was about marriage, not just fooling around.


    She needed to give herself time to think, to decide whether to take a leap of faith with Jeffrey.


    After all, with his looks, their kid would surely be beautiful! That was probably the most convincing


    reason Karen could think of to persuade herself.


    Talking about love and feelings was premature.


    Karen wouldn''t easily fall head-over-heels; she was pretty level-headed when it came to these


    matters. She would never be blinded by infatuation.


    As soon as Jeffrey heard she was nning to leave and see Levi, he immediately grabbed her


    wrist, “No, you can’t go see him!”


    “I told you that I just want to check in. After what happenedst night, it''s impolite to vanish without


    a word. Jeffrey, you can''t only think about your own feelings; you have to consider my situation too


    and how I''ll exin this to my parents.”


    At times like these, he acted like a stubborn and irrational kid who was consumed by jealousy.


    Jeffrey looked at her and after a few seconds said, “Then I’ll go with you.”


    “What for? To hit him again?”


    “To apologize, of course! It wasn’t you who hit him, so you shouldn’t be the one apologizing!


    Granted, he took my girl out for dinner, gave her roses, and they were alone in his car in the middle


    of the night, but I shouldn''t have resorted to violence.”


    Her response was silent, but his words sounded less like an apology and more like an usation.
